Souls are like unto mirrors, and the bounty of God is like
unto the sun. When the mirrors pass beyond all coloring and attain purity and
polish, and are confronted with the sun, they will reflect in full perfection
its light and glory. In this condition one should not consider the mirror, but
the power of the light of the sun, which hath penetrated the mirror, making it
a reflector of the heavenly glory. - ‘Abdu’l-Baha ('Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol.
1')
